Wizards forums migration tool

[MerricB]

I've just uploaded a new version. You should now see an Emulation Mode menu bar. Choose the mode that corresponds to the level of IE on your machine and see if you can log-in to the Wizards site.

You may need to run the program in Administrator mode as it needs to edit the registry.

Cheers!

Excellent job Merric, thanks for the assist!

 

[RealAlHazred]

That seems to have done the trick!

FWIW, I'd tried logging in in your app earlier, but it didn't support the scripting (I guess). The latest version gave me no issues!

I'm using the webbrowser control that comes with Visual C#. For some reason, it defaults to IE7 behaviour, and it can't login to the Wizards forums. There are two registry flags that change that. Once I knew about them, I was able to get the program to set them... and it works!

Cheers!

Merric, I have nothing to save from there, but I wanted to say thank you for the fantastic devotion to the gamer community over the years -- this is just one more example among many why you're awesome, and people need to give recognition of it!

 

[Zathris]

Thanks for this.

MerricB is one of if not the most helpful form member of any online community I have been involved in. Also his adventure reviews are second to none!

Yeah, this is one of the most incredibly useful things! And 12 hours of coding? I think a lot of us owe Merric a beer!

I'm Mac OS, but thanks anyway

Thanks Merric.

I can't use this myself, as I am a Mac OS user, but I've given you a shout out over at The Piazza, where people have also been trying to save WotC content.

You go onto my "buy this person a drink" list.

So we all buy him a beer and he dies of alcohol poisoning...
